Bad Religion frontman Greg Graffin's solo record: a "vivid, hi-fi recording that makes you feel as if you are in a 19th century pine-floored cabin or village-church with the musicians right there next to you," and it displays his "love of country rock in the vein of Gram Parsons, the Band and Neil Young." I hate Bad Religion, but this is promising nonetheless.

Kurt Cobain has been named the "Greatest Hero in Rock 'N' Roll" by NME readers. Other heroes include Ian Curtis and Pete Doherty. I guess "hero" means something different over there.
